Swedish pop sensations Pippa Marias formed in London in January 2010 when the future band members moved into the same flat in Dalston. The Gothenburg-bred electro/pop quartet kicked off by rehearsing in a Camden Town pub cellar and started making catchy and melodic tunes inspired by the beat of the streets of London and pure unashamed Swedish pop.
Henrik Nyblom fronts the band with his stand out vocals, with Bernhard Siljedahl providing the drum beats, Robert Kling on lead guitar and Tobias Lindvall on bass. Pippa Marias have been compared to The Cure, Zdar and Phoenix and offer dance pop with an added cutting edge.
With a growing fan base, the band are making headway in London and were recently voted “Band of the Month” on Sweden’s Tastemaker radio channel (P3) for September, without a record release in their home country (yet). Pippa Marias have also been featured on Best of Myspace and their lead track “Shut Your Mouth” has been championed by influential Swedish DJ Pelle Moeld. In October the band took to the main stage at the Freeze festival alongside Pendulum and Mark Ronson.
